2016 Tacoma social media leak

Torques is a reference to Top Gear. Its what Clarkson says and its funny.

And all my numbers came from Wikipedia.

All that chrome? There's hardly any chrome on the front end....

 

I'd go diesel... as long as I can get it re-tuned.

I have an Chevy 3500 Express with the Duramax and Gross Vehicle weight is right around 9000#... I'm averaging 16.5-18 mpg; on long trips it'll go up to 18-19.5. The only "performance" mod I have is a Bully Dog Triple GT tuner.

 

Im pretty sure the 4runner is rated higher with premium, that might explain those numbers.

 

It isn't what the added .6 liters gives you it is what the added 2 cylinders gives...

The numbers I pulled from Wikipedia explained the power differences between 91 and 87.

IGR-FE (2nd Gen Taco):

Sorta. It all works together. Otherwise we'd see 1.6 liter V8's.

its because cafe mpg standards are rising. Fleet mpg is suppose to meet 54.5mpg by 2025.

that tacoma was suppose to be at 27 mpg in 2012.... they say those numbers are not really real world driving numbers though

When is this Detroit Auto show so we can get all this over with ?

 

Oh bother

 

http://www.naias.com/the-2015-show/overview.aspx

The show is not open to the public until 17 January. As much as I dislike Detroit, I'll be there. I may be able to get some pictures if not too crowded around the Tacoma, which will probably not be the case!

 

I have something to do that

 

Should be lots press pics floating around on 12th..

 

Formula 1 use to have 1.6L Turbo V6s back in the 80s.

 

Yes it is a mini tundra. That's was toyotas idea.

 

Yes I know, still doesn't sound good as the V8 or badass V10 they use to have screaming at 19,000 rpm down the straightways

 

I agree 100%. I've been saying this for years, I love my Tacoma but it seriously needs a small V8 and more power, dodge had a V8 in the Dakota back in the 90's so why can't Toyota do it. I love the size of the Tacoma and don't care much for the bulky full-size trucks but I'm at the point that I've decided if Toyota doesn't size up the Tacoma with a small V8 I will be trading up to the Tundra or the new F-150.

 

I think we can all almost 100% guarantee there will not be a v8 in a tacoma in the future. If anything you will start to see more and more full size trucks with more efficient v6's. As engine technology improves, smaller engines will put out more power and be more fuel efficient. The speculated 3.5L for the new tacoma will put out about the same amount of horse power as small v8.

 

I see a lot of similar angles between the two front ends for those who don't think it looks anything like a tundra.
